A fella? Among the opposite sex with a clear age difference have different needs. Both of them just want to live up to the expectations of their families. It is not just that if you agree then it means that the relationship is only established because of mutual agreement.
As a woman who is indeed in a phase of life that needs a companion. Kimmy did not rush to be a couple just to get married. The girl still enjoys solitude with the busy build the foundation of future life.
Especially in this world, all require costs that are not cheap. As a woman she does not want after marriage to rely on her own husband's finances. Although the obligations of the living are born and the inner fall on the responsibilities of a husband. For him the relationship should be based more from heart to heart.
"If you want to make friends, I can make friends but not in a matchmaking way that will be the future." Kimmy threw her gaze out the window staring at the shoulder of the street packed with people.
A sigh of restraint made the woman think hard how to explain that she wanted a once-in-a-lifetime marriage. Surely a small family that is harmonious with an abundance of affection with mutual respect for each other.
That's exactly what Kimmy said. Just to be friends must be able to be with people who have been trying to get close to him, then what is the difference from their relationship when just a friend. If you think about everything seriously, then the answer is in sight.
"What about ta'aruf? What can we do that." Rafa quipped with an idea that came out of nowhere.
Ta'aruf is one way to find a soul mate according to Islamic law. In general, ta'aruf means to make introductions between the male family and the female family with the aim of uniting the two to the marriage stage. But specifically, the term taaruf comes from the word ta'arafa-yata'arafu which means to know each other.
The word taaruf in the Quran is mentioned in Surah al-Hujurat verse 13. Here it sounds:
"O mankind, we created you from a man and a woman, and made you peoples and tribes so that you may know one another " (QS. al-Hujurat: 13)."
The problem was that their arranged marriage was not a ta'aruf but a covenant bond between the child and the parent. It is true before deciding to be given time to think about the good and bad of their relationship later. The parents of both parties only expected agreement without coercion.
It feels like a snuggle. Want to immediately refuse but the reason is not enough to be an alibi but if it continues. What can undergo a household heresy in a minimal understanding, a belief as thin as a tissue, not necessarily there will be peace or bitterness.
Kimmy turned to look at Rafa who was focused on driving. The handsome face of his students does have a plus and it becomes the talk of the school residents where he teaches. As of today, some students are gossiping about the basketball leaders who managed to do a series match with the new teacher himself.
"What are your plans for the next three years?" kimmy asked, trying to talk about the simple things to see how much he could balance the relationship when the matchmaking should be continued.
Eyes focused forward staring at the streets. Both hands are busy turning the steering wheel to stay stable because the position of the car drove on the streets are quite crowded other vehicles. He heard a question from his substitute teacher just chose to be quiet for a moment.
"The plan is perfect for me but not perfect for mom and dad. They worry because I'm always alone. I don't know what is the main cause until finally the matchmaking takes place. What about Mrs Kim herself?" rafa asked back a glance at the side until his eyes met the substitute teacher's netra.
"I? There was no plan because thank God I got it all. Now just enjoy work and the rest of the time to pamper yourself or gather with papa and mama." replied Kimmy as it is.
What cannot be said is still hiding in the heart but what has been said is just a stale base. That's how Kimmy is, the girl who is relaxed when faced with her own life problems but every time at school and serves as a teacher. It is like a world of turning over.
Humble but not for showing. That is the motto of life of the substitute teacher who has a complicated life. While Rafa is a relaxed young man in the school environment, more precisely because in the school record has a minus point of some aspects. Notes without writing are actually because the teacher provides relief to stay in every championship in several branches of the national race.
Thanks to his cleverness, the young man seemed to have a free-breaking card with unlimited permission. Once upon a time during history lessons, the new teacher who taught was immediately mentally affected by making Rafa's sleep time disrupted. Though the eyes just closed after a few nights of overtime enjoying a matter of practice for the math olympiad.
The furore made the history teacher who had just worked a week immediately resigned on the grounds that he did not want to teach brash students like Rafa. Even though he was sleeping, the young man still listened to the lesson and even gave the answer to the question asked by the teacher.
It did not feel the journey had ended once the car entered the courtyard of a cafe Gemilang. The cafe is on the other side of the street in front of a shopping mall. The two of them descended together, then walked towards the entrance regardless of the gazes of the people around him.
"Good afternoon, Ka, Deck. What do you want to order?" asked the waiter with a friendly smile welcoming Kimmy and Rafa's arrival as soon as the customer came.
"We order a special room only, and prepare a light lunch menu. Miss Kim, would you like a warm drink, what's cold?" tanyanya looked to the side. Where the substitute teacher is paying attention to the design of the cafe where they will spend time together. "Mom Kimmy!"
"A cup of chilled chocolate with the addition of vanilla ice cream" Ms. Kim replied casually making the waiter write down the order.
After making the booking, Rafa took Bu Kim to the room that had been booked. Of course, this time he chose to maintain privacy, however, he knew the woman with him was not a schoolboy. A teacher with the title of owner of many awards. All information is obtained from some acquaintances who are deliberately collected.
The room with a table in the middle, a thick fur carpet as a base for sitting, making the two men take off their footwear. Then do not forget to wash your hands in the sink, then look for the most comfortable seat. Where finally choose to sit facing each other with the table as a separator.
"Can I just call you Kimmy? As long as there's only two of us, of course." Rafa started the chat by changing the nickname. It's not okay to have to call a girl who is set up with a formal name.
